B3 THE ASTORIAN • TuESdAy, July 12, 2022 BLONDIE DAY AFTER TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPE THURSDAY, JULY 14, 2022 RHYMES WITH ORANGE ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s nothing more charismatic than happiness. Products promise beauty. Lotions, potions, accesso- ries and accouterments are there for the purchase, and yet none have the attractive power of your genuine smile. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your energy is well-applied to cleaning, building, fixing or growing things. You’re inspired by those with a similar work ethic to yours (see Capricorn and Virgo) and will be much more productive with these types around. B.C. DILBERT GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re the glue. You’ll keep everyone to- gether. Once people start peeling off and doing their own thing it gets harder to stay in touch. Play your “music” loud enough for all to hear and they will dance to this song for a time. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have someone’s complete love. You are much harder on yourself than this person will ever be. Try to see yourself the way this person sees you and you’ll be much kind- er to yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you know how to reach your goal, but don’t do what’s necessary to get there, it might be that the goal is not quite right for you. If it were, you’d want it enough to do what it takes. A liberating realization will free you to find a better fit. BIZARRO VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Plan- ets orbit the sun, moths fly at the lightbulb, humans gather around a fire. Today’s “fire” will come in the form of some incendiary topic. It’s a fine opportunity to practice discretion, steer clear of gossip and take the high road. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Super- stars are human too. You don’t really know someone until you un- derstand their vulnerabilities and shortcomings. Though you admire someone’s star quality, you’ve an NON SEQUITUR WIZARD OF ID ROSE IS ROSE even deeper love and appreciation for their humanity. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life isn’t fair, but at least the division of chores can be. If one person is constantly cleaning up after the other, it will get old fast. Is every- one pulling their weight? If not, you can remedy that today and prevent resentment tomorrow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As the sky watches clouds drift through, some puffy, some ominous and dark, so you watch a variety of thoughts cross your mind. None call for immediate action. Soon the wind will change, clearing your mind: a reset. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Too many choices hang a question mark over an entire experience. Narrow it down. Let your instinct guide you to the top three options. It will be easier to decide the best of three and move on from there. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The day is marked by the adrenaline rush of social fun. A bold playful- ness is inside you, just waiting for permission to emerge. But you don’t need anyone else’s permis- sion, only your own. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You recognize that there is something you need to learn to become the person you want to be. Training is available in many forms: formal, informal, in books or in person. You’ll have the luxury of choice. THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 14). Anyone can be impressed by dream destinations and museum curations, and you’ll certainly get your share of typically lovely sights. But it takes a special eye to see uncommon beauty in common things, and this is your superpower and a daily practice. A few of your finds will not only be soul-lifting but also lucrative. Pisces and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 27, 1, 44 and 17.
